Chapter 254: Oh No, Could It Be That His Dao Heart Has Shattered?

At this moment.

The center of the arena.

"Break for me——!!!"

"Blazing Burst Heart!"

Yan Lie decisively unleashed a dangerous high-tier skill.

Using himself as the center, he detonated the fire elements around his body.

A single misstep, and he would suffer backlash.

Boom!!!

The indestructible ice sculpture shattered violently under the explosion.

Ice shards flew through the air.

Yet even though Yan Lie had successfully broken free from the ice.

His current appearance was utterly wretched.

In the instant before he broke free.

The inverted extreme-cold ice blades within the Ten Thousand Blades Ice Burial Array had already pierced into his flesh and blood.

"Puh——!"

Yan Lie violently spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

All over his body, terrifying wounds deep enough to reveal bone covered him.

Fresh blood instantly dyed his entire body red.

He gasped for breath in great gulps, dropped to one knee, and used his staff to prop up his body with all his might.

"It broke through…"

Yan Lie clenched his teeth.

But before he could even catch a single breath.

A terrifying pressure beyond description instantly locked onto him.

Yan Lie raised his head.

He saw the giant fox with lightning serpents coiling around its entire body.

And also saw…

The despair-inducing center of the thunderstorm in the sky.

"Still… still more?!"

Yan Lie's heart clenched violently.

An unprecedented fear completely devoured his reason.

Boom——!!!

Heavenly Judgment · Lei Yun Purgatory!

Heavenly Judgment · Lei Shen Spear!

Two high-tier lightning divine techniques descended from the sky at the same instant!

One was a Lei Ting bombardment covering the entire arena.

One was a destructive beam compressed to the absolute limit.

Fast!

Too fast!

The speed of the Lei Ting was something the now-injured Yan Lie simply could not react to.

He stared at that pure-white Lei Shen Spear piercing through heaven and earth.

His mind went completely blank.

Can't dodge it!

Absolutely can't dodge it!

Even at full strength, he wouldn't have absolute confidence in dodging it.

Let alone now, already bearing no light an injury…

Although with the Medical Department's soul protection, he wouldn't die.

But in the instant of being one-shot killed, that kind of near-death agony—being charred by Lei Ting, being torn apart in an instant—was one hundred percent real.

Yan Lie did not want to experience this kind of pain.

He suddenly flipped his right hand, and a scroll appeared in his grasp.

A high-grade Purification Scroll, capable of purifying all negative effects beneath high-tier control skills.

Hum——!

A flash of Jin Guang streaked past.

The gray halo originally shrouding Yan Lie, suppressing his attributes, instantly shattered.

At this moment.

The full attributes of a level-65 dual-element Archmage roared back.

Vast spiritual power instantly filled his entire body.

On the viewing platform.

How sharp were the eyes of the senior students.

Seeing this scene, the entire arena instantly erupted in an uproar!

"Holy shit!"

"Purification Scroll?!"

"Senior Yan Lie cleared the attribute-suppression debuff?!"

"He's cheating! Didn't we agree that suppressing attributes ensures absolute fairness?!"

"He's lost all shame!"

However.

It was already too late.

Even if he restored his level 65 attributes.

Even if he was a dual-element Archmage.

He was, after all, merely a fragile mage with weak defense.

After being severely wounded by a high-tier ice skill.

Facing this ultimate thunder representing the wrath of heaven, and yet two bolts...

Boom-boom-boom-boom—!!!

The lightning instantly swallowed Yan Lie's body.

The blinding light made everyone in the stands instinctively close their eyes.

The entire arena erupted with a violent earthquake.

Even with the defensive array set up by the God of Magic.

Everyone could still feel that destructive tremor.

Within the light.

Yan Lie didn't even have time to scream.

His body was struck by thunder and pierced by the Thunder God's spear.

A beam of white light shot skyward from his surroundings.

At the same time, a white cocoon tightly wrapped Yan Lie's body.

Soul Protection triggered.

The light dispersed.

In the center of the arena remained only a deep, pitch-black crater.

And at the bottom of the crater, the figure wrapped in the white cocoon.

Yan Lie looked through the cocoon at the thunderclouds gradually dissipating in the sky.

I...

Really couldn't even defeat one of his pets...

Could I?

On the other side of the arena.

Da Bai, possessed by the 'Thunder Strike' skill, proudly raised its head.

The thunder all over its body gradually subsided.

It didn't even glance at Yan Lie at the bottom of the pit; it simply licked its paws elegantly.

In the skill bar.

【'Thunder Strike' coldly withdrew its gaze: "Trash."】

【'Fireball' immediately chimed in: "Third Brother is right."】

【'Ice Spike' sneered sarcastically: "Indeed."】

【'Earth Shield' let out a sigh: "Pity it didn't last until Second Brother's turn."】

After a brief silence.

Cheers erupted from the stands.

"The Great Demon King is awesome!!!"

"Da Bai is awesome!!!"

Han Mengqing, excited, jumped straight onto a chair.

Wang Dawei also laughed heartily:

"Hahahaha..."

"What 'Madman'? In front of the Great Demon King, I'd say 'Useless Man' is more appropriate."

Chu Lingxuan covered her small mouth, her eyes full of admiring little stars.

"The Class Monitor is still way too overpowered; even a pet is this strong..."

It wasn't just the Long Xu Ban students.

Other students also fell into a frenzy of shock.

"The Great Demon King won?!"

"The Great Demon King won again!"

"Holy crap, did I just see that right? Did Senior Yan Lie remove the attribute suppression at the last moment?"

"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes! He used a Purification Scroll!"

"That was his full power at level 65!"

"A gap of nearly 30 levels!"

"And yet he was still instantly killed by the Great Demon King Lin Mo's pet?!"

All the students stared at one another, unable to believe this scene.

After all.

This instant defeat was not the same concept as the instant defeat in the Freshman Trial.

The Great Demon King's opponent in the Freshman Trial was just a group of ordinary second-year students, second-year students who didn't even know high-level skills.

But this time, the Great Demon King faced a Dual-Element Archmage nearly thirty levels higher!

It was the former class monitor of Long Xu Ban!

It was the president of the Dragon Nation Young Mages Association!

Just like that...

He didn't even last ten seconds!

At the edge of the stands.

Director Su Jing's face was filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible..."

As the director of the Medical Department at Jing University.

How could she not know that guy named Yan Lie?

The year Yan Lie was still at school, he was simply the Medical Department's nightmare!

Almost every few days, the Medical Department had to make an emergency deployment.

To clean up Yan Lie's mess!

Of course, not to treat Yan Lie, but to treat Yan Lie's opponents who had been beaten to the brink of death.

Among his peers, Yan Lie was synonymous with invincibility.

But now?

Against Lin Mo, he was defeated in less than ten seconds.

No...

It should be said, against Lin Mo's pet...

"Truly... one generation surpasses the next..."

Director Su Jing sighed.

Beside her.

Principal Guhe and other big shots were also filled with shock.

"Principal..."

Xu Wenchang murmured.

"Yan Lie finally removed his suppression, right?"

Principal Guhe took a deep breath and nodded.

"He removed it."

"Even after restoring to level 65, he was still pierced through by a single spear."

Although they already knew Lin Mo's power.

Yet crossing nearly thirty levels and still instantly defeating Yan Lie, a Dual-Element Archmage prodigy, so cleanly and decisively, still exceeded their expectations.

It didn't even qualify as evenly matched.

Indeed, a Four-Element Archmage and a Dual-Element Archmage are completely on different levels.

Xu Wenchang looked at the elegant Formless Great Void Beast beside Lin Mo, opened his mouth:

"Generally speaking, a contracted beast's combat power tops out at only about seventy percent of its master's."

"This Formless Great Void Beast is already this perverted..."

"If Lin Mo were to act personally..."

Xu Wenchang dared not think further.

That scene would be too brutal.

Nie Zhen Guo appeared outwardly steady as Taishan.

But the shock in his eyes was equally impossible to conceal.

He looked at the youth sitting leisurely on a chair on the arena.

A satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Excellent! What a Great Demon King! With such a son in our Dragon Nation, what is there to worry about?"

Among these four big shots.

The most shocked was none other than Hearing Feng Cangqiong, president of the Dragon Nation Mages Association.

Yan Lie was the top prodigy he had valued most in recent years, without exception.

He had even been cultivating Yan Lie as the successor to become the next president of the Mages Association.

In Hearing Feng Cangqiong's eyes.

Yan Lie possessed an invincible belief and unparalleled combat talent.

Yet today...

In less than ten seconds, he was defeated by Lin Mo's pet.

Hearing Feng Cangqiong took a deep look at Lin Mo.

Truly the person Old Nie had taken an interest in.

Suddenly.

He gave a violent start.

One had to know, Yan Lie was far too wild and far too arrogant.

In his entire life, he had never tasted such a crushing defeat.

What's more, it was at the hands of a pet, beneath the gaze of ten thousand onlookers, instantly killed in an overwhelming posture.

Even at the very last moment, Yan Lie had still gone against his own oath and lifted the suppression.

For a proud battle maniac like him, this must be extremely hard to swallow.

"That boy's Dao heart… it couldn't have been directly shattered, could it?"

Hearing Feng Cangqiong's heart suddenly sank.

He could no longer sit still.

His figure flashed.

He shot toward the giant crater in the center of the arena.
